Name/Alias: Besanii Journal name: wildwesternwind Location(optional): South Dakota Comment(optional): I find this action to be outrageous. While it may have started as a noble endevour, the system has crumbled into little more than a witch-hunt. While I in no way upon this earth condone pedophilia, the mass deletions of journals simply because they have a trigger word that rings the "BAD" bell is wholly inappropriate. Take a look closer...look underneath the underneath. A turn of the phrase may not mean what you are hearing. And onto the subject of fanfiction. If I am correct, isnt there this pesky little thing in the Bill of Rights that talks about free speech. That may be my imagination....but who knows...Maybe it is REAL. LJ, take a look at the context that many of these works of fandom are written in. TAke a look at the works that they are written for and the culture that these are based on. ARe all books that are published and found in Libraries free of your 'trigger words'? No they are not...Do you wish to burn them too?...How about we condemn the writers that wrote those great works of art?...Shall we burn them at the stake?..While this is an extreme example, what you are doing now is just a modern day witch hunt that ammature writers that dabble in fanfiction are facing. Your indiscriminate actions are driving the real criminals underground LJ. Take care with your actions please and redo the system and add some discrimination.
